FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The new rift came after a group called the Syrian Revolutionary board of trustees told reporters on Tuesday in Cairo that it has tasked veteran opposition activist Haytham al-Maleh with forming a transitional government in exile in Egypt.
The group said that parts of Syria captured by opposition groups would be controlled by Maleh’s government and that it will continue its work until the collapse of the government of President Bashar al-Assad and formation of a democratically-elected government.
The terrorist Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) have both criticized the decision by the Syrian Revolutionary board of trustees.
While FSA leader Riad al-Asaad described the move as fueling the rift among the Syrian opposition, head of SNC Abdel Basset Sayda said “This step is unnecessary. We hoped that our brothers had discussed it with us beforehand”.
At more than 80 years of age, Maleh is a former judge who was freed from jail after Assad ordered the release of political prisoners as part of his reform program. He broke away from SNC last March, accusing the SNC’s leader at the time, Burhan Ghalioun, of running the organization autocratically.
The recent move has demonstrated that there are three anti-Syria movements; the Istanbul-based SNC, which is being controlled by Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Haytham al-Maleh and his alliance, who are following Cairo’s policy, which unlike Qatar and Saudi Arabia, opposes military intervention in Syria. And the third that consists mainly of Syrian officials, who have recently broken away from the government and left the country, including former Syrian Vice President Abdul Halim Khaddam, President Assad’s uncle Rifaat Assad and Brigadier-General Manaf Tlas.
According to an editorial published in the state-run BBC Persian, armed groups fighting against the Syrian government also lack a united leadership and are divided into several different groups.
The terrorist Free Syrian Army, which leads the attacks on Syrian troops, has so far refused to join the SNC and act as the group’s military wing. It is also believed that although FSA has a central leadership, some members of the group do not comply with the central command. And there are also groups of defected soldiers who are engaged in armed activities without joining the FSA.
The editorial also adds the Kurds, foreign gunmen and al-Qaeda militants to the list of armed groups fighting against the Damascus government.
It is the first time that the state-run BBC speaks about the presence of foreign armed men in Syria.
The editorial concludes at the end that deep division among the Syrian opposition is the main reason behind the hesitation by world powers in increasing their support for the toppling of the Syrian government.
It also says that since some parts of Syria, including its Kurdish region, are being controlled by the regional rebels who neither comply with foreign-based political groups, nor with FSA, then the prospect of tribalism looms on the horizon and efforts to unite will not succeed if the rebels capture more parts of Syria.
